Your Pressing Questions Answered: Navigating a Personal Injury Claim in Colorado Springs

After an injury, you’re faced with more than just physical pain. Medical bills, calls from insurance adjusters, and uncertainty about the future can be overwhelming. You have questions, and you deserve clear, straightforward answers. At Cheney Galluzzi & Howard LLC, our law firm believes in providing Common Sense Solutions, and that begins with demystifying the legal process. Here are answers to the most pressing questions we hear from our neighbors in Colorado Springs.

1. Your Financial Concerns: “Can I Afford an Attorney for My Injury Case?”

This is often the first and most significant worry after an injury, and we want to provide immediate peace of mind.

• How much does it cost to hire you? We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. Simply put, you do not pay us any attorney’s fees unless and until we win your case. There are no upfront costs to hire our firm. Our fee is a percentage of the financial recovery we obtain for you. This approach ensures that everyone has access to trusted legal counsel, regardless of their financial situation.
• Is the initial consultation really free? Yes, absolutely. Your first meeting with us is a 100% free, no-obligation consultation. This is your opportunity to tell us what happened, understand your legal options, and see if we are the right fit for you. There is no catch and no pressure. It’s a crucial first step for you to gain clarity and for us to understand how we can help with your injury claim.

2. Your Case: “Do I Have a Claim and What Is It Worth?”

Understanding the validity and potential of your case is essential for all personal injury clients.

• The insurance company already made an offer. Should I take it? We strongly advise against accepting an initial offer from an insurance company without speaking to an attorney. Their first offer is almost always far less than what you are rightfully owed. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Accepting that offer means signing away your right to any future compensation for your injury, even if your medical needs become more severe. As your advocates, our job is to calculate the full, fair value of your injury claim, including future medical care, lost income, and pain and suffering.
• What factors determine the value of my case? While it’s impossible to give an exact number upfront, we determine the potential value of a claim by analyzing several key factors:
  • Medical Expenses: All costs related to your injury, including hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, and future medical needs.
  • Lost Wages: Income you’ve lost while unable to work, including future earning capacity if your injury is long-term.
  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress you have endured.
  • Impact on Quality of Life: How the injury has affected your daily activities and future.

3. The Process: “What Should I Do Now and What Happens Next with My Accident Case?”

Knowing what to do—and what not to do—can significantly protect your rights.

• What are the most critical mistakes I should avoid right now?
  1. Do Not Admit Fault: Even a simple “I’m sorry” can be used against you in your accident case.
  2. Avoid Posting on Social Media: Insurance companies will scrutinize your profiles for any evidence they can use to devalue your claim.
  3. Seek Medical Attention: Immediately see a doctor, even if you feel your injuries are minor. This creates a medical record that is vital for your case.
  4. Do Not Give a Recorded Statement: You are not obligated to give a recorded statement to the other party’s insurance adjuster. Let your injury lawyer handle communication.
• Will I have to go to court? The thought of a courtroom trial is intimidating for most people. The good news is that the vast majority of personal injury cases—over 95%—are settled out of court. We are experienced negotiators who will build a strong case to leverage a fair settlement. However, we are also seasoned trial lawyers, fully prepared to take your case to court in El Paso County if that is what it takes to secure the compensation you deserve.

4. Colorado Law: “How Do Local Colorado Laws Affect My Rights and Compensation?”

Our knowledge of Colorado-specific laws is a critical asset for your personal injury case.

• What is the Statute of Limitations in Colorado? In Colorado, you generally have a limited time to file a lawsuit for a personal injury. For most motor vehicle accidents, it is three years from the date of the accident. For other injuries, like a slip and fall, it can be two years. It is crucial to act quickly, as missing this deadline can mean losing your right to compensation forever.
• What does “Modified Comparative Fault” mean for my case? Colorado law recognizes that sometimes more than one person is partially at fault for an accident. Under “modified comparative fault,” you can still recover damages as long as you are found to be less than 50% at fault. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. This is a key reason why having an experienced advocate and personal injury attorney to prove the other party’s liability is so important to maximize your compensation.
